As mostly many of our players are accused of some or the
other things. Nasir at a time in his carrer was also accused of spot fixing in
Bangladesh Premier League on which due to soft stance from Pakistan Cricket
Board he was there in the Asia Cup after which he scored 112 remarkable runs
against India.
Amongst these accusations Nasir’s one shocking news
prevailed on televisions when he was found cheating in his class 9th
exam. When he and his fellows were caught cheating they were handed over to the
police and sooner it was told that one among them has also played for Pakistan
Cricket Team. The Lahore Police claimed of finding them “red-handed” while
cheating. Many channels even showed Nasir behind the bars at that time, but, this
all is now forgotten by his great performances and his love for the country
that has made him a National Hero. He is at present a batsman who is observed
as a talented player and one who plays wilfully and enthusiastically for
Pakistan.
